Hey guys and gals.
I was lacking inspiration!
Don't kill me for the horribleness of this chapter. I know this is supposed to be a battle, but I can't write action.
Robin's P.O.V.
Turns out some mutant goo thingies were attacking in the streets. They were slightly humanoid and glowing green and bleed goop, and I almost lost my lunch. I would say dinner, but remember, that's what we were deciding on when these monsters attacked.
"Iron Man, can you blast in the center of the group?" Steve yelled into his earpiece, slamming his shield against one of the mutant's heads, just to be attacked by another mutant.
"Will do, Cap." There was a screeching sound as some of the slimy mutants were blasted away. The Hulk was smashing, and it was creating a huge dent in the mutant's numbers. Yet we were still outnumbered.
I bristled, as I clawed one of the mutants, slicing its throat. I shuddered as it convulsed, and green goop spilt all over me.
This was getting extremely messy fast. The streets were quickly covering with nasty goo from the mutants. Clint was running out of arrows, and I was getting tired.
Steve was almost completely covered with goo, and was still getting covered as more mutants attacked him. The only ones not completely screwed were Tony and Natasha.
Tony was repulsor blasting from above, and Natasha was kicking goop ass like a champ.
Either way, we were still losing big time.
"We win to Loki just to get defeated by jello monsters." Tony muttered into his earpiece. "I can already see the headline. 'Avengers killed by green gelatin'"
I rolled my eyes, and narrowly dodged a blow. I decided that I never want to try jello.
Suddenly, storm clouds rolled in, and I heard a faint rumble of thunder. As it began to pour, Steve looked to the sky, like he was expecting something.
Lightning struck twice in the distance. "Good timing, Rock of Ages." I heard Tony mumble. Rock of Ages?
There was a small explosion as nearly every blob monster was struck with lightning, and the force of it made all Avengers fly back a bit. Except Hulk.
I landed on my back to see goop flying everywhere, and as I open my mouth to ask something, I
got goop in my mouth.
I was disgusting, and I sat up as fast as possible spitting it out of my mouth. Thank stars I didn't swallow any.
Clint did though. I felt small satisfaction from that.
"I'm never eating jello again." the archer groaned, trying not to barf.
I stared at the crater as a tall, long haired, blond, muscled, blue eyed...man stood up, wielding a hammer.
"Way to make an entrance, Thor. I call the showers first by the way." The others quickly called after him.
I have no idea what a shower is.
I am Robin Duran, and I am now last in line for the showers. Whatever those are.
Steve's POV
By the time everyone was out of the shower, it was past nine. Well almost everyone. I hadn't seen Robin leave his room since the battle.
"Jarvis, could you please tell the Avengers to assemble in the living room within the next five minutes?" I asked, praying he wouldn't invite Robin too. That's who the meeting was about. "Of course, Captain."
The Avengers slowly filed in, Natasha coming first, then Clint, who placed his bow on the ground in front of the couch. After that Thor, then Bruce. Ten minutes later though, there was noTony.
I sighed in aggravation and annoyance as Tony waltzed into the living room, twelve minutes late.
"I'm here, Cap. Hope you didn't start without me." Tony said with a smirk.
"Just shut up and sit down, Stark." Natasha snapped.
"First things first. Thor. Last time we saw, you were going back to Asgard. Why are you here now?" I asked, as Tony sat down.
The blonde demigod frowned, and let out a big sigh. "Loki has escaped his prison."
There were mixed reactions. Clint cursed, Natasha reached for her gun like Loki was going to appear any moment now, Tony growled, Bruce sighed. I narrowed my eyes at Thor.
"I've searched for my brother all over the realms, and then I asked the all seer, Heimdall. He suggested I check Midgard." Thor rumbled. He bowed his head as in shame. "I'm sorry, my brothers in arms."
"Don't worry about it big guy. We can stop him again if necessary." Tony said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
"Now for the second topic. Robin." I said, trying to direct the team's topic.
"What if he's Loki?!" Clint hissed from the couch. I suddenly felt a something like a ball of ice in my stomach.
"He has a good point, Cap. It would make sense. Loki disappears and Robin appears." Natasha pointed out.
"It would also explain why he sneaks out at night." Tony muttered. We all turned our gazes to him.
"Why didn't you say something about that earlier?!" Clint yelled, looking like he wanted to kill Tony five times over.
Thor sniffed. "Robin is not my brother. I would be able to feel his magic then."
"Maybe not your brother, but someone who works for him." Clint snapped.
The tension was building quickly. Even Bruce, who was used to the bickering of our teammates looked uncomfortable.
"Be quiet! No one should openly accuse him of anything unless they're positive. Why stir up unnecessary ill feelings?" I suggested. Tony rolled his eyes.
"Of course, Captain peace."
Clint looked annoyed, but said nothing else.
"You've all read the file Tony hacked for us, right? Except Thor."
My team nodded simultaneously. "Good. Thor, read it. The rest of you piece together clues using that. Team dismissed." I announced.
As the team began rising from the couches, I head a vase crash to the ground. Clint immediately had an arrow nocked and aimed at the direction.
"Clint, come with me. The rest of you stay here."
I had chosen Clint so he wouldn't start any fights with the others. We don't need that on our hands with a loose Norse demigod of mischief on our hands, I thought.
A vase had fallen in the hallway, and as I reached down to pick up the pieces, I saw the door to the guest room slowly close.
Clint raised his arrow as I slowly pushed the door open. He shot the arrow just as a blur jumped out the window.
I raced to the window and stared out. Nothing stirred, and I heard Clint curse behind me. "Do you think that was Loki?" he asked, joining me to took out the window. I shrugged. "I don't know Clint. I do know that if it was, then we need to formulate a plan of attack and defense. Quickly." Time to go tell the team.
It took me the longest time to write this last part. I had it planned out, but I was tooooo lazy to write it. Sorry if anyone is a bit OOC. My bad.
Any ideas for the next chapter, anyone? I'll take them. I don't think there are any WC terms in this chappie.
I'm looking forwards to your response. Was it Loki? If it was, why didn't he attack?
Peace out
Thunder
